Former President Donald Trump told a crowd at Mar-a-Lago this week about his first days using social media. He said at first he would dictate his messages to Dan Scavino, the former manager at Trump National Golf Club Westchester who Trump appointed as his campaign’s director of social media in 2016.
Note: Scavino kept the title of Director of Social Media when he followed Trump to the White House, and was later promoted White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications (2020-2021).
Trump said of Scavino: “I call him the most powerful man in politics because he’s the only one who has my number” — meaning that Scavino has access to Trump’s social media accounts — “He could say ‘I don’t like you voters, I don’t like you at all, I’m fed up with you, I can’t stand you,’ and that’s the end of my political career. Dan’s the only one who can do that.”
Trump bizarrely suggests his social media director, Dan Scavino, who has access to Trump’s Truth Social account, could end Trump’s political career by posting how he “doesn’t like” his voters or posting “something horrible” and “very sexually oriented.” pic.twitter.com/YjUdYqNV6q
